  • Ludwig Boltzmann

    The Man Who Trusted Atoms

    by Carlo Cercignani ...
    This book presents the life and personality, the scientific and philosophical work of Ludwig Boltzmann, one of the great scientists who marked the passage from 19th- to 20th-Century physics. His rich and tragic life, ending by suicide at the age of 62, is described in detail. A substantial part of the book is devoted to discussing his scientific and philosophical ideas and placing them in the ... Read more

  • Introduction To Lagrangian Mechanics, An (2nd Edition)

    by Alain J Brizard ...
    An Introduction to Lagrangian Mechanics begins with a proper historical perspective on the Lagrangian method by presenting Fermat's Principle of Least Time (as an introduction to the Calculus of Variations) as well as the principles of Maupertuis, Jacobi, and d'Alembert that preceded Hamilton's formulation of the Principle of Least Action, from which the Euler-Lagrange equations of motion are ...

  • Classical Mechanics with Mathematica®

    by Antonio Romano ...
    Series series Mathematics and Statistics (R0)
    This textbook takes a broad yet thorough approach to mechanics, aimed at bridging the gap between classical analytic and modern differential geometric approaches to the subject. Developed by the author from 35 years of teaching experience, the presentation is designed to give students an overview of the many different models used through the history of the field—from Newton to Lagrange—while also ...

  • Solved Problems in Quantum and Statistical Mechanics

    by Michele Cini, Francesco Fucito, Mauro Sbragaglia ...
    Series series UNITEXT / Collana di Fisica e Astronomia
    This work arises from our teaching this subject during many years. The vast majority of these exercises are the exams we gave to our students in this period. We carefully selected the subjects of the exercises to cover all the material which is most needed and which is treated in the most well known texts on these subjects. Each exercise is carefully solved in full details, explaining the theory ... Read more

  • Geometry from Dynamics, Classical and Quantum

    by Giuseppe Marmo, Giuseppe Morandi, Alberto Ibort, José F. Cariñena ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    This book describes, by using elementary techniques, how some geometrical structures widely used today in many areas of physics, like symplectic, Poisson, Lagrangian, Hermitian, etc., emerge from dynamics. It is assumed that what can be accessed in actual experiences when studying a given system is just its dynamical behavior that is described by using a family of variables ("observables" of the ...

  • Thermoelasticity with Finite Wave Speeds

    by Martin Ostoja-Starzewski, Józef Ignaczak ...
    Series series Oxford Mathematical Monographs
    Generalized dynamic thermoelasticity is a vital area of research in continuum mechanics, free of the classical paradox of infinite propagation speeds of thermal signals in Fourier-type heat conduction. Besides that paradox, the classical dynamic thermoelasticity theory offers either unsatisfactory or poor descriptions of a solid's response at low temperatures or to a fast transient loading (say, ...

  • Combustion Engines Development

    Mixture Formation, Combustion, Emissions and Simulation

    Edited by Günter P. Merker, Christian Schwarz, Rüdiger Teichmann ...
    Series series Engineering (R0)
    Combustion Engines Development nowadays is based on simulation, not only of the transient reaction of vehicles or of the complete driveshaft, but also of the highly unsteady processes in the carburation process and the combustion chamber of an engine. Different physical and chemical approaches are described to show the potentials and limits of the models used for simulation. ... Read more

  • Neoclassical Physics

    by Mark A. Cunningham ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    In this introductory text, physics concepts are introduced as a means of understanding experimental observations, not as a sequential list of facts to be memorized. The book is structured around the key scientific discoveries that led to much of our current understanding of the universe. Numerous exercises are provided that utilize Mathematica software to help students explore how the language of ... Read more

  • Quantum Physics: The Bottom-Up Approach

    From the Simple Two-Level System to Irreducible Representations

    by Dirk Dubbers, Hans-Jürgen Stöckmann ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    This concise tutorial provides the bachelor student and the practitioner with a short text on quantum physics that allows them to understand a wealth of quantum phenomena based on a compact, well readable, yet still concise and accurate description of nonrelativistic quantum theory. This “quadrature of the circle” is achieved by concentrating first on the simplest quantum system that still ... Read more
